Monads vs boilerplate

-- Go
func doStuff(context Context) (err error) {
    x, err := computeX()
    if err != nil {
      context.Errorf("Error computing x: %v", err)
      return
    }
    err = doSomethingWithX(x)
    if err != nil {
      context.Errorf("Error doing something: %v", err)
    }
    return
}

-- Haskell
doStuff :: (Monad m) => ExceptT Error m a
doStuff = do
  x <- computeX
  doSomethingWithX x
